The strange man known as Masuru has appeared and his ability is the same as Orihime's. No one knew how he was able to acquire such abilities, but they knew they can't let him escape.

"I don't get it. How can he have my powers?" Orihime said.

"I don't know, but we're going to get some answers." Karin said as she held up her twin zanpakuto. 'Should I bring out my shikai?' She thought. 'No. Let's see what this guy can do. After all, he has the abilities as Orihime. That must mean that despite what he can do, he's still human.'

"Stand aside. My business is with Orihime. Inferiors such as yourself shouldn't get involved." Masuru said.

"I don't know who you are, but whoever you are is about to get thrashed." Karin said and she went to attack.

"Karin, wait!" Ichigo said, but she wouldn't listen as she was preparing to strike.

"You just don't listen, do you?" Masuru said. "Santen Kesshun, I reject!" He formed his shield and blocked her attack. He also pushed his shield ahead and slammed it right into her and knocked her to the ground. "For a soul reaper, you're pretty pathetic."

"Damn you. No one does that to her." Ichigo said as he went to join in the fight as he pulled out his soul reaper pass. Chad reached for his own as he was about to help.

"You're all fools." Masuru said as he held out his arm. "Santen…."

"Nice try, but you're shield won't work. We know its powers too well." Ichigo said as he and Chad dived down both sides.

"….Zanshun, I reject!" Masuru said. They thought he was going to defend, but he attacked instead. Three green rays shot out of his bracelet. Ichigo and Chad tried to avoid them, but they ended up getting slashed against their sides.

"Ichigo! Chad!" Orihime called out.

"Are you two okay?" Keigo asked, but they both grieved in pain. They're wounds felt like burns and their flesh was torn right off.

"I'll put an end to both of you." Masuru said.

"You'll be doing no such thing." Uryu said as he fired some of his arrows, but Masuru blocked them all with his shield.

"Are arrows all you got?" Masuru questioned.

"Assist, Hogohana!" He turned around and saw Orihime dressed as a soul reaper and unleashed her pinwheel-like zanpakuto that looked like one of her hairpins.

'What?! She's wearing a kimono like a soul reaper? Is she one of them?' Masuru wondered. Orihime swung her sword. Ever since she gained the powers of a soul reaper and won the battles she's been in up until now, she's become more confident in herself and her fighting abilities so that she can fight instead of just watching. She swung her weapon, but he blocked it with her shield.

"Just what do you want exactly? How do you have the power of the Shun Shun Rikka?" Orihime said.

"For me, it's called the Shun Shun Raikko. As I told you earlier, what I came here for was you." Masuru said. He dispersed his shield and struck Orihime right in the gut. Then, he whacked her on the head and knocked her out. He grabbed her before she collapsed and placed her over him.

"Hey! Let go of her!" Tatsuki said and was going to help her, but Keigo stopped her. "Keigo, let me go."

"No way, Tatsuki. Are you insane? That guy is dangerous." Keigo said.

"Ichigo! Orihime needs help" Karin said as she got back up. Ichigo was able to stand, but he could barely move with his injury. The same went for Chad.

"He isn't taking her anywhere." Uryu said as he fired another round of arrows, but they were blocked by a purple circle. "What? Where did that come from?"

"Is that you, Misha?" Masuru asked and the mysterious girl from before showed herself. The purple circle split into two Shun Shun Rikka and reentered a necklace she wore under her dress with the same flowers.

"I'm sorry I didn't show earlier." Misha said as she tried to hide herself.

"You need to get over your shyness. Let's go." Masuru said.

"Hold on. Let go of Orihime. You're not taking her." Ichigo said as he tried to stand and fight.

"You can't stop us. Santen Zanchun!" Masuru fired off his three attacks.

"Get down." Uryu said as he managed to move Ichigo out of the way with the others avoiding them and the two of them made a run for it.

"What did you do that for?" Ichigo said as he shoved Uryu off. "You should have stopped them from getting away with Orihime."

"If I didn't do that, you would have been sliced up." Uryu said. "Keep in mind that these people have the same power as Orihime, but they might hold more power when they attack. Before Orihime became a substitute soul reaper, she could never bring herself to actually harm someone, but that's not the case with these people."

"He's right, but now we've got to do something." Chad said.

"Starting with you two." Karin said as she gestured to their wounds. "Those look serious. We need to find something to treat them."

"Only Orihime can do that with her abilities." Ichigo said. "We got to go after them. We need to get her back."

"At least we still have her body." Keigo said as he stood over Orihime's soulless body.

"I be careful with what I do to that if I were you." Mizurio warned.

"Tatsuki, you take Orihime's body to Urahara Shop and tell Kisuke what's going on." Ichigo said. "We'll go after the guys that just swiped Orihime."

"I got it. I would insist I go with you, but you'll probably end up ditching me to keep me out of trouble." Tatsuki said. "Just make sure you bring her back or else."

"We better get moving." Uryu said and all of them were in agreement, but they're dealing with an enemy they don't know anything about.

…

Orihime

Orihime was starting to wake up after she got knocked out. She looked to see she was in an abandon warehouse. She looked around and didn't know where she was.

"You finally woke up." She looked to the side and saw Masuru with Misha. She jumped back and reached for her zanpakuto, but saw no sign of it.

"Looking for this?" She looked behind herself and saw two other figures. Both of them were men. One had dark skin hair with muscles, bald head, sports top, and black short and he was wearing earrings like Orihime's hairpins. The other had brown hair. He wore a sky blue shirt with a white lab coat, khaki pants, and had the same flowers on his glasses. He was also the one holding her zanpakuto.

"I never would have thought the power of a shun shun rikka would be placed in an actual zanpakuto. It's quite impressive."

"Don't be amazed, Rinnosuke. She's impure now."

"Relax, Omai, you giant muscle head." Rinnosuke said as he adjusted his glasses. "I'm just taking an interest in this."

"What's going on? Who are you people?" Orihime wondered.

"There is no need for you to be concerned." She looked into the shadows and saw two more figures One was a man who was twice her age. He had black hair with a purple cape that had a black feathered collar. He also wore black dress pants with a black blazer with his Shun Shun Raikko as rings on his left hand. The other was Zenou. He had dull brown short hair with a black sleeveless shirt and black pants that had grey on the sides and black boots. He also had pale skin with dark circles around his eyes.

"Who are you people?" Orihime said. She looked around at Zenou and didn't see anything on him. 'That one doesn't seem to hold the Shun Sun Rikka, but the others do.' She thought.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Riesin. I'm the one who is in command. This one is Zenou. We're like you, Orihime Inoue, but I didn't expect you to be a soul reaper too. That causes great problems for us."

"In that case, I think I'll be going." Orihime said as she used the flash step and grabbed her zanpakuto and shoved Rinnosuke off. Orihime smashed through a window and saw she was in a factory district.

"Get her!" Riesin ordered as Masuru and Omai jumped through the windows and went after her.

"Santen Zanshun, I reject!" Masuru launched three green attacks at once, but Orihime used the flash step to avoid each one.

"Where are you going?" Omai said as he tried to grab her, but Orihime jumped back. Omai reached for his earrings. "Goten Zanshun!" Omai unleashed five attacks at once as five of his petals flew in a red aura. Orihime tried to deflect each one, but they each had some power behind them as she was being pushed back and was placed against a wall.

'This isn't easy. Each one of them can use their powers with different amount than what I've done.' Orihime said. She looked up and saw Riesin land on some pipes above them.

"Don't kill her. She should at least know what he's suppose to be." Riesin said.

"Got it." Masuru said as he commanded his powers and sliced up the wall behind her and caused the pieces to fall on her and had her pinned down.

"Good." Zenou said as he came out with the others. Misha was the only one that stayed back and she seemed scared. "She can't escape."

"Be patient, Zenou. This must be all new to her. It seems like she hasn't met her own kind before." Riesin said. "Let's give her a moment and explain all this." He didn't get the chance to as he heard something flying at him and moved his head as an arrow flew by. "Who might you be?" They all looked on another building and saw Uryu came to the rescue

"Just a guy who can't ignore a fair maiden in need of assistance." Uryu said. A flying arrow coming to save his comrade, but the villains hold abilities that are much like her own.
